Now a great app with very welcome improvements!

This app always had great content, but the user interface and experience was awful: until the recent refresh. What a positive change! You can’t even call this an update; it’s a complete and very welcome overhaul.

This is the interface that the content deserved, well done!

Highly recommended.

New content fails to load on iPhone

Took 2 tries on my iPad mini to successfully load new content but 3 tries on iPhone 7 failed to load all content.

Good tool

Excellent tool in the way the birds are classified into their types. Makes it easier to find and identify the birds. However, photos of actual birds would be great too. Many thanks for a good app.

Thoughtfully designed birding app

I appreciate the way the app is designed but would suggest a more consistent presentation perhaps with subheads identifying feeding habits, breeding, plumage & other identifying features, habitat, etc. Still, kudos on the app!

Good data, terrible UX

Basically an app that has the data you want (pictures, descriptions and sounds) but is let down by worst user interface I’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t take much work to change that though
